± C. M, 

AM I a soldier of the cross, 
A follower of ihe Lamb ? 
And shall I fear to own his eause, 
Or biusk 10 speak his sHine ? 

2 Must I be carried to the ekies 

On flowery beds of ease, 
TVhile otheis fought to win the prize, 
And sailed throagh bloody seas 1 

3 Are tbere no foes for me to face t 

Mast 1 not stem the flood I 
Is this vile world a friend to grace, 
To help Bc on to God? 

4 Sure I must fight, if I woald reign ! 

Increase my oonrage, Lord 1

N evil long I tool; delisHt, 
Unawed by shame or fear; 
111 a new object struck my eight, 
And stopp'd my wild career. 



2 I saw ona hanging on a tree, 

In agonies and blood ; 
Who fix'd his Ian go id eyes oo me, 
As near his cross I stood. 

3 Snre never to my latest breath 

Can I forget that look ; 
It seemed to charge me with bis death, 
Thongh not a word he spoke. 

4 My conscience felt and owned the gnilt. 

And plunged me in despair ; 

I saw my sins bis blood bad spilt. 

And help'd to nail him tbere. 

6 A second look he gave, which said, 

"I freely all forgive; 

Tbis blood is for thy ransom paid ; 

I die, that thon may'st live." 

6 Thns while bis death my sin displays 
In all its blackest hue, 
Such are the mysteries of his grace, 
It seals a pardon too.

JESUS my all to heaven has gone, 
He ivhom I fix niy hopes upon; 
His irack I see, and I'll pursue 
The narrow way lill him I view. 

2 The way the holy prophets went. 
The road that leads from banishment, 
The King's high way of holiness, 
I'll go, for all his paths are peace. 

3 This is the way I long have sought. 
And mourned because I fonnd it not; 
My grief a burden loag had been, 
Because 1 was not saved from sin. 



4 The more I strove against its power, 
I felt its weight and guilt the more. 
Till late I heard my Savior say, 
" Come hither, soul, I am the way 1" 

& Lo, glad I come, and thou, blest Lamb, 
Shalt lake me to thee, as I am : 
Noiliing but sin have I to give, 
Kothing bat love shall I receive. 



What a dear Savior I have found ; 
I'll point to thy redeemins blood, 
And say, behold the way to God !

THE rains descended, and the floods 
My sonl's fonndationa tried; 
While one by one each cherished hope, 

Like waning nisii-lights died. 
And lone and desolate, I heard 

The elemental din ; 
Yet light amid the darkness broke — 
A sun-beam shone within, 

2 Out on the crested wave I rode, 
When the great sea arose, 
And challenged with its thander-cry 

The stormy winds as foes. 
Then barks were wreok'd, and men neal

In peril and in pain. 
Until that glorious Snn arise, 

Which ne'er shall set ngain. 
when by death's dim phantom led, 

I tread the shadowy vale, 
Still shall this perfect peace be mine, 

Though flesh and heart should fail.

To atone for you and rae, 
And to purchase our pardon with blood. 



There be bow'd his bead and died, 
There my Lord ivas crucided, 
To atone for a, world that was lost. 

3 Jesns hung bleeding, Jesus hung bleeding, 

Three dreadful hours io pain; 
And the solid rocks were rent. 
Through creation's vast extent, 

When the Jews orueiSed tbe dear Lamb. 

i Darkness prevailed, darkness prevailed, 
Day was concealed o'er the land ; 

And the sun refused to shine 

While his Majesty divine 
Was derided, msnlted and slain. 

5 When it was finished, when it was finished. 
And the atonement was made, 

He was taken by the great. 
And etnbalmed in spiees sweet. 
And was in a new sepalobre laid.

Prince and the author of Peace, 

Soon he burst the bands of death, 
And triumphant, from the earth, 
He ascended to mattsioos of bliss.

Yet beyond this vale of sorrow, 
Lie the fields of endless day : 

Fiends loud howling throagh the desert 
Make ihem lierable as they go, 

And the fiery darts of satan 
Often bring their eonrage low.

Of the roughness of the way ? 
Does your sireagth begin to fail yon ? 

And your vigor to decay ? 
Jesns, Jesus, will go with you : 

He will lead you to his throne ; 
He who dy'd his garments for you, 

And the wine press trod alone. 

3 their crowns, how bright they sparkle, 

Such as monarchs never wore: 
They have gone to richer pastures, 

Jesus is their shepherd there.

Every youthfal, pleasing dream ; 
Quiv'ring age, wiih youth eontraswd.

As the Bunual frosu are cropping 

Leaves and tendrils from the trees. 
So my friends are yearly dropping 

Through old age and dire disease.

Ju5t to cheer my drooping mind, 
But they've cone like leavoa in autumn. 

Driven before the dreary wind. 
When a few more yean I've wasted, 

When a few more springs are o'er. 
When a few more griefs I've tasted, 

I shall live to die no more.

I must sleep in death's dark night ; 
But my hope, pure and refining, 
"Reus in future life and light.

In Eden's garden while I dreamed.

And guilt lay heavy ou my soul, 

A vast, oppressive load : 
Alas 1 T read and saw it plain, 
"The sinner must be born again," 

Or feel the wrath of God. 

5 The siunls I heard with rapture tell 
How Jesos conquered death and hell. 

And broke the fowler's snare ; 
Yet when I found this truth remain, 
" The sinner must be born again," 

I sunk in deep despair.

As on the little group he gazed, 

And told their portions o'er.

Anear the threshold stood,

To beg a little food.

SABBATH SCHOOL HYMNS. 



247 



WHEN our Fathei'B, long ago, 
JTIed from persecntion's flame, 
O'er the dark tempestuous sea, 

Little children with tiiem came. 
Liitle children knell and priy'd, 

With their Sires on freedom's shore 
Kttis'd the grateful notes of joy, 
Louder than the ocean's roar. 

2 Bursting on night's darkest hour. 

Children heard the savage yell, 
And the loud and fearful cry, 

Of their parenlH, as they fell. 
Children sang in later times, 

Liberty's inspiring' lay, 
Glowing hearts in concert hailed, 

Each retarning festal day. 

3 But a nohler, sweeter song, 

■We this day have met to sing, 
Fcaise to him in Bethlehem born. 

Him, our Savior and our King. 
He has conquered — !o he comes. 

Leading captive death and sin ; 
Open, open wide your gates, 

Let the King of glory in. 
i JesuE, Jesus, yes ! 't is he, 

Evermore the children's friend.

We have one request for thee, 
Teachers, faithful teachers send, 

Send ihem thfoagh this guilty world, 
To meke glad th' abodes of sia, 

Open, open wideyont gates, 
Let the King of glory in.

HOLY rather, please to hear. 
Children's praise and humble prayer, 
Thou didst give us parents kind. 
Teach us ever thetn to mind. 

3 Food and raiment, home and friends. 
All we have, thy goodness sends, 
And for these, our hearts shall raise 
Grateful thanks, and humble praise. 

3 Guide our Uses in grace and trnth, 

Through the tempting scene of jonth, 
And when here our trials cease, 
receive our souls in peace.

OURS is the Sabbath school, 
Its lessons may we prize, 
At5d grow by every gospel rule. 
Unto salvation wise.

'The bliss of Sabbath days.
